F-15I Receiving Standoff Weapons

Now the F-15E received the 229 engines it would only be fair for the F-15I to get the SPICE.

  • The F-15I should receive SPICE
  • The F-15I is alright right now

I don’t see how this would be much different to the kh38, sure i guess

Which spice? 250? 1000?

If Isreal gets the Spice, US should get the GBU-53/B Stormbreaker, which is the actual equivalent to the Spice 250.

The difference is that one uses a MMW-radar. SPICE uses a large combination of guidance systems. Including Imaging-IR/Contrast/TV, IOG, GPS, Contour/scene matching, waypoint navigation and laser.

The thing is that having an Imaging-IR makes it possible for it to be defeated by using smoke. Something Gaijin has stated is doable.

They could of course be reduced to just IR seekers but still be fnf

It would be significantly slower. Think of the PGMs.

Anyways, I would otherwise also like to see the Popeye, they’re all not that different anyway.

isn’t this a LOAL IR-guided glide bomb?
Like y’all really trying to advocate for this when most countries are still running AGM-65s 💀

there is a slight difference, the 15I kinda needs it while the 15E doesnt need the 53

Stormbreaker is a tri-mode seeker (MMW/IIR/SALH) + GPS/INS/DL. All gaijin would need to do would be remove the MMW seeker portion of it like they did with the Brimstone.

It has the mmw radar but it can be moddeled with just the ir seeker

But you already got your AGM-65Ds. SPICE is here to fill the gap that the F-15I is missing (some active homing weapon that is not GPS only)

My real point is that neither actually needs 100km+ range F&F glide bombs. The mavs are acceptable cuz theyre pretty mid, barely on the cusp of the Pantsir S1’s range, easy to shoot down, and within range of potential future REDFOR SHORAD systems such as Buk.

Stuff like the Kh-38, Spice bombs, Stormbreaker, and AASM Hammer should never be allowed in GFRB. They outrange anything the ground vehicles have to respond with, which just ends up turning the ground players into unwilling punching bags.

Specialized munitions with excessive ranges like these should be relegated to PVE modes, their proliferation in GFRB does nothing but harm the game.

I get that cool modern munitions are fun to use, but they arent fun to be on the receiving end of, and nothing will ever make them fun or balanced to be on the receiving end of.

you’re acting like they will ever be able to use that range rofl, just wait till you hear about the RAMPAGE you’re mind will be blown
